Ecological Systems and Devices Annotation << Back DEVELOPMENT OF 3D SENSORS FOR EARLY LEAK DETECTION PETROLEUM PRODUCTS IN TECHNOLOGICAL EQUIPMENT AND ENVIRONMENT Yu.I. Sakunenko A fundamentally new type of 3D sensors for direct detection of leaks of liquid petroleum products has been developed and patented. For the first time, sensors have no restrictions on the place of installation, including on vertical walls, pipes, any seals. foreign counterparts. Two families of sensors have been manufactured and tested – for operation as part of technological equipment and, for the first time, for monitoring oil product leaks directly in the ground. All materials and components used in the development were produced in the Russian Federation. Keywords: Sensors; leaks; oil products; hydrocarbons; pollution; soils; ecology; monitoring.
